Definitions

  • Dutch Patent Specification 1 016 147 discloses a spring leg with integral adjusting device, in which the adjusting device is designed for setting the preload of a coil spring fitted in the spring leg.
  • the adjusting device is designed for setting the preload of a coil spring fitted in the spring leg.
  • Such conditions can include, for example, a sportier performance, in which case a higher spring constant is required, but it can also be the conditions where a more recreational use of the motorcycle involves carrying luggage and/or a passenger.
  • the load on the spring increases considerably, in the latter case the load even increasing by a factor of 2 compared with the weight of an unladen motorcycle.
  • the first compression spring comprises a body made of a resilient, substantially solid material.
  • This material is preferably an elastomeric material. Such material is found to be suitable for obtaining the robust design, so that wear remains limited.
  • the spring characteristic of an elastomeric material is not constant. The spring travel is not proportionate to the load upon the elastomeric material. The resistance of the elastomeric material will increase with increased load upon the material. Owing to the increased values of the spring characteristic, this results in an increasingly short spring travel with increasing loads.
  • this material is used in a shock absorber for a motorcycle it results in a limited and controllable degree of inward spring and outward spring, which has an advantageous effect on the handling characteristics of the motorcycle.
  • adjusting means are provided for manually controllable adjustment of the blocking distance.
  • the manual control makes this embodiment simple to use and extremely reliable in use.
  • the adjustment of the adjusting means is preferably continuously variable, so that a user can adapt the spring characteristic even more accurately to his or her specific requirements and to the current conditions.
  • these are, for example, the quality of the road and the weather conditions.
  • the opening is provided so as to be circular symmetrical around a longitudinal axis of the spring element.
  • the blocking member is provided so as to be circular symmetrical around the longitudinal axis of the spring element.
  • the spring device according to the invention is particularly suitable for use as a motorcycle shock absorber.
